About me:
I'm a humor writer with articles in the Chicago Tribune, Boston Globe, Newsday, Amarillo Globe-News and a bunch of small, local papers. Oh, and magazines, too. I'm a member of the Erma Bombeck Writers group, and the National Society of Newspaper Columnists. Sign up for my free column at http://www.maggievanostrand.com Born and raised in New York City, Queens College, moved to L.A. and went from roadie in the music biz to V.P. in TV production. Now I write. I have two dogs who travel with me to lots of great places like Texas, New York, New Orleans and Erick Oklahoma. I love horses as much as dogs, but don't have any. Instead, I throw a saddle over the arm of the couch. Works for me. Dislikes: Tried marriage a couple of times - didn't like it much. Can't stand Katie Couric either. Or bin Laden. Likes: -- jazz, reading, hiking, and the best show ever on network TV, "24." If we had Jack Bauer, bin Laden would've been found by September 12, 2001.
Who I'd like to meet:
President David Palmer from 24. Failing that, how about Barrack Obama, Kiefer Sutherland, and J.D. Salinger. If I were dead, I'd like to meet Elvis, Dolores Del Rio, and Jim Morrison

Dear Maggie,

I've just read your Evening in Paris piece. It reminded me of my own late mother, who sometimes wore it, as your dear one did. She gave me an old, small perfume bottle with some in it, and I bought a boxed bottle of 1940s Evening in Paris Eau de Cologne at a flea market on Manhattan's upper east side during the 1980s.
Thanks for the amusing stroll down Memory Lane this Memorial Day, Maggie!

I just stopped in to say "Hi," and to see how you are doing.


Sending love,
